Quick and Easy Spicey Refried Bean DipThis is a great party dip. I've learned to put out small bowels when several of our friends come over for dinner as they will eat the entire thing before I can get dinner out. They LOVE it. Play with the flavors in this dip by changing the type of salsa and chili powders you use. There's no right or wrong chilies or salsa, just use… |

Rubin Stuffed PotatoesMy wife and I were invited to a St. Patrick’s Day pot luck party. We were asked to bring an Irish dish and the host couple was providing corned beef, cabbage and boiled potatoes, and not to bring a desert. This really didn’t leave much that I could think of. I ended up making Stuffed Rubin Potatoes as an appetizer. I love Rubin… |

Beef Enchilada CasseroleMy family and I love enchiladas but sometimes I’m a bit short on time so that’s when I toss together this tasty casserole. Over the years it’s become a favorite comfort food, like a good mac and cheese. |

Favorite Enchilada SauceWhen I was a kid growing up in the 50’s my folks had a rustic glazed terracotta casserole dish they bought in Mexico. Once or twice a month my dad would take the dish down to a little Mexican takeout place called Johnson’s Enchiladas and would have it filled with Johnson’s beef enchiladas. The enchiladas had a simple ground beef… |

Beef GoulashMy wife and I were talking about having a beef stew on a recent cold winter evening and goulash popped up. This is an easy recipe I put together from several I looked at and it turned out pretty well. If you are in the mood for something a bit different, I think you’ll like this. |

Pork & Pinto Bean SoupThis is a spicy, warm up your mouth kind of soup I put together on our first day of snow here in North Idaho. I normally don’t use brand name ingredients in my recipes, but in this case I think they create a flavor I’m not sure I could easily duplicate without them. This is great on a cold winter day but I bet it would be just as… |

Oven BBQ ChickenIt was a dark and stormy night….NO, NO, NO!! Sorry, I just started my last diatribe with that line but it’s still winter and the ice where my wife and I park our cars is so slick there are days we put on ice cleats to just to walk to the bridge that leads to our front door. What’s a person to do when the old BBQ is covered with… |

Braised Lamb ShanksIt was a dark and stormy night….well, it snowed about 1 foot last night, and I was in the mood for a warm hearty stew. When I looked in the freezer, what should I find but two beautiful lamb shanks, about 1 ½ lbs. each. I was looking for some stew meat so this was like Christmas. As soon as I saw this treat I decided on a braise… |
